For non required fields, you can either omit from the JSON string or set it to a default value
(e.g. String = "", Integer/Double = 0, Boolean = false, DateTime = 1900-01-01T00:00:00.000Z)
{"auth": {"api_username": "", "api_password": "", "api_key": "", "company_no": 0, "username": "", "password": "", "timezone_offset": 0, "auth_type": "", "system_name": "", "system_company_no": 0 }, "rotator": {"display_from": "1/1/1900 12:00 AM", "display_to": "1/1/1900 12:00 AM", "rotator_no": 0, "rotator_group": "", "rotator_title": "", "rotator_brief": "", "rotator_link": "", "rotator_link_title": "", "rotator_image": "", "company_no": 0, "created_on": "1/1/1900 12:00 AM", "order_no": 0 } }
{"auth": {"api_username": "", "api_password": "", "api_key": "", "company_no": 0, "username": "", "password": "" }, "rotator": {"display_to": "1/1/1900 12:00 AM", "rotator_no": 0, "rotator_group": "", "rotator_title": "", "rotator_brief": "", "rotator_link": "", "rotator_link_title": "", "rotator_image": "", "company_no": 0, "created_on": "1/1/1900 12:00 AM", "order_no": 0 } }
This sample code is to generate a function leveraging existing core functions you've already built.
func getAPIKit() -> (url: String, dict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject>) {
var display_from = "1/1/1900 12:00 AM"
var display_to = "1/1/1900 12:00 AM"
var rotator_no = 0
var rotator_group = ""
var rotator_title = ""
var rotator_brief = ""
var rotator_link = ""
var rotator_link_title = ""
var rotator_image = ""
var company_no = 0
var created_on = "1/1/1900 12:00 AM"
var order_no = 0
let url = "http://api.peoplevine.com/ad.asmx/createRotator"
let key = "rotator"
let rotatorDict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject> = ["display_from": display_from, "display_to": display_to, "rotator_no": rotator_no, "rotator_group": rotator_group, "rotator_title": rotator_title, "rotator_brief": rotator_brief, "rotator_link": rotator_link, "rotator_link_title": rotator_link_title, "rotator_image": rotator_image, "company_no": company_no, "created_on": created_on, "order_no": order_no ]
let finalDict = User.getAuthDict(dictToAdd: rotatorDict, dictKey: key)
return (url, finalDict)
}
To get started we reccomend that you download the Alamofire project to simplify integration: https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire, in addition to SwiftyJSON: https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON
